D.J. LeMahieu hit a grand slam, but the Rockies fell to the Angels on Thursday in the Cactus League.

A grand slam is a pretty nice way to pick up your first homer of spring training, which is what LeMahieu did. The 29-year-old infielder was unable to match his insane numbers of 2016 last year, but he's hit at least .301 in the last three seasons. There isn't much here in terms of power and the speed appears to be fading, but he can certainly help you in the average category. Mar 15 - 7:42 PM

Rockies and 2B D.J. LeMahieu avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $8.5 million contract.

The 29-year-old slashed .310/.374/.409 with eight homers, 64 RBI and 95 runs scored last year. He will be a free agent next winter. Jan 12 - 7:18 PM

DJ LeMahieu homered and scored three runs on Tuesday as the Rockies dispatched of the Tigers.

LeMahieu got the scoring started in the contest with a solo shot off of Michael Fulmer in the first inning. He also drew a pair of walks in the game, finishing the night 1-for-2 officially. He's in the midst of another strong offensive campaign, slashing .314/.380/.408 with seven homers and 56 RBI. Tue, Aug 29, 2017 11:55:00 PM

DJ LeMahieu went 3-for-5 with a pair of home runs as the Rockies held off the Braves 7-6 on Saturday.

LeMahieu hit a solo homer in the fifth inning and teed off again in the ninth, bumping his home run total from four to six in the span of a few innings. The 29-year-old has been one of the league's best hitters since the All-Star break, as he's now hitting .333 with those two homers since the Midsummer Classic. His numbers won't touch his 2016 breakout, but few do. When all is said and done, this year's stats will still reflect another strong offensive year for the 29-year-old.

Pat Valaika (oblique) began hitting off a tee Wednesday morning in Rockies camp.

Valaika has been slowed by an oblique injury for the last couple of weeks, but there's still hope that he could be ready for the start of the regular season. He's already taken grounders and made throws on the infield without issue. The versatile 25-year-old projects to serve as an active utilityman this season for the Rockies. He put up a cool .817 OPS with 13 home runs in 110 games (195 plate appearances) last year.

Gerardo Parra (hand) is set to take his first live batting practice session of the spring on Wednesday.

Parra had a goal to begin playing in Cactus League games by March 10, and he could come pretty close to meeting it. That would put him on track to be ready for Opening Day, as long as there are no setbacks. The 30-year-old outfielder underwent surgery on February 9 to remove the hamate bone from his right hand.

Hoffman was scratched from Sunday's Cactus League appearance due to right shoulder soreness. He had his arm wrapped Monday morning, but he said that he doesn't think it's that serious. Assuming the pain subsides soon, Hoffman should try throwing again in the next few days.

Carlos Estevez suffered a setback in his recovery from a left oblique injury and will not be ready for Opening Day.

Estevez initially injured the oblique back in late February, though he told reporters Monday that he doesn't expect this to become a long-term thing. He should be ready around the middle of April. The 25-year-old right-hander is projected for a long relief role this season with the Rockies.
